1 Series [Spy Shots] BMW 1-Series coupe


The BMW 1 Series is a range of subcompact executive cars (C-segment) manufactured by BMW since 2004. Positioned as the entry-level model in BMW range of products, the first generation was produced in hatchback, coupé and convertible body styles.
Whoa! Indeed, what's that? :eek2: :eek2:

That little thing looks very interesting! It certainly looks like some M or 35i...:usa7uh:

:t-cheers:
 
This 135i indeed features M-sport package, yet the wheel arches are regular - just appearing wider in this particular pic (perhaps due color, lighting, angle of shot, ...).

:t-cheers:




PS: I've noticed one interesting detail. The cars with intercooler & twin pipes (135i) wear M-package exclusively in all spy pics available. That makes me believe 135i will be a special edition - coming exclusively with M-sport package only. A top end non-M sports model - like eg. E53 X5 4.8is was. So, kind a "135is".
 
Eni, why are you sure they're regular? The pics are pretty big and i've looked closer several times, i don't think they're regular, they seem wider...

:t-cheers:
 
Wow, this car looks great!!! I'm not sure about this particular car having the full on M aero kit as the rear valance looks very un-M-like. I wouldn't doubt that a 135i wouldn't come as a special small run of the mill model, complete with M aero kit badged as an "is" or "si" model.
I also notice the driver has the window rolled down as if there's some commuinication taking place between himself, the guy with the tripod and the guy with the green shirt. Perhaps this is part of some sort of the press material or something else along those lines? Cool stuff.
I have to say, Audi has lost a potential TT customer - for those of you that know what I'm talking about. :t-cheers:
 
Several cases have shown engines not designed to be manipulated with and they do it anyway and when said engine goes pop! ( Their was a lot of instance with E39 M5) BMW warranty becomes null and void because your car you own it and your modification - There were several law suits because of this. Whilst now adays tuning companies now offer warranties in the past some didnt - The only tuning company if you put with a very special relationship with BMW is Alpina - Their choices are subtle , restrained, tuning for the conniseur without being brash with gullwing doors and wide body kits in which i personally stick my fingers down my throat when I see the bastardisation of a beautiful shape like a 6er all covered in dramatic body kit and huge wheels which on a bad road would shake your fillings loose.
BMW also supports Dinan tuner in the US and your tuned car is serviced through BMW dealers.
 
I hope BMW goes easy on dealer allocations here for this car. It wouldn't be too nice to see this car mass market, as everyone would be itching to have a 1er coupe. Then again, I don't think this car will be to everyones taste.
